One of my FAVORITE things about being single is posting status updates about dates on Facebook. I love hearing people's opinions, asking my "friends" questions about the suitability of a potential suitor, and updating on whether or not a goodnight kiss was shared at the end of the night.

Why do I do it? Well, for one, it makes dating far less lonely. For another, I like hearing what my friends think. BUT (the big BUT!) is that once I'm past a first date, I keep it quiet — except with my closest friends — about what's going on between me and a guy.

But what about when people get serious, get married, then things go south?

This guy decided to turn to the Internet. His website, myexwifesweddingdress.com, was started after his ex left her wedding dress at their house when she was moving out. She said she didn't care what he did with it, so he decided to ask people on the web for suggestions, with the idea that he wanted 101 uses for it. So far, he's used it as things like an oven mitt, a coffee filter, and even a yoga mat!

Personally, I love how honest he is. He's also transparent in why he began the blog — he wanted to get a book deal! — but what I find so fascinating is how he's using the dress as a way to really home in on some of his feelings in the year after his divorce. It's kind of poetic, really. At the end of the experiment, he'll have a tattered, torn, stained piece of fabric — I'm sure how the end of the marriage and the messy pulling apart felt. But then he can get rid of it, and hopefully, move on.

Personally, I'd read his book. Do you have any suggestions to add for what he should do with the dress?
